Creative mosaic MP3 player

Creative has taken the, er, creative approach in an attempt to unseat the iPod with its new multi-buttoned MP3 Player. Rather than going down the click-wheel or touch screen competitor route it’s decided to do something fun with the buttons instead, resulting in its mosaic inspired quirky design.

On first look it may ignite feelings similar to Marmite, but if you look beyond the slightly esoteric design, there’s a decent player lurking beneath the surface. With a 1.8-inch display, up to 16GB of storage and built-in speakers the Creative Zen Mosaic is more traditional than its zany clothes make out.
